Stephen is traveling this week... but that won't stop us! The podcast continues, with a spit & glue setup only MacGyver could understand. This week we talk about Clone Wars coming to Netflix, Annie Leibovitz making our casting game come true, and Rob finds a tumblr that... well... I'll let him explain it. We also talk about a post that made its rounds this week on what it actually means to be an animator. It was short and blunt and we have words about it.This week, a friend and fellow animation geek, Jules Jammal, passed away at a well-lived but still young age of 39.
